Of course, because I work at home, there will certainly be times when I have to say no. There is work that needs to be done and my kids need to learn that the world doesn't completely revolve around them. But, are there times when I am so consumed with my work that "no" becomes an automatic response to my kids' pleas to play? Do I need to lighten up? Have I forgotten how to become a fun mom?

As any work-at-home mom knows, balancing work and motherhood is not easy! But, at the end of the day, would I rather say I got each of the twelve things done on my to-do list? Or that I took some time to pay attention to the needs of my child?

Here are five ways you can get your work done and still be considered a "fun mom."

1. Take a Time Out. When your child is pleading with you to play with her, take a moment to consider whether she may be desperate for time with you. A child can only go so long without some quality time with her mom. Take a half an hour break to spend playing a game, drawing a picture, or taking a walk around the block.

2. Set the timer. Tell your child you will set the timer for one hour. When the timer goes off, it will be time to play. You will then set the timer for twenty minutes and play whatever it is he wants to play, whether it's , a board game, or silly dancing to a favorite CD. Do that a couple of times throughout the day. And stay true to your word =96 when you hear that "ding," drop what you're doing. Let him know he's the priority.

3. Make a fun time. Use the hour to involve your child in making sandwiches and . Leave the paperwork in the office and . Ask her questions about things she enjoys =96 like what she's named her latest or what happened on her this morning.

4. Put him to work! We're not talking child labor, here. But, if possible, involve your child in your work. Of course, the work needs to be age-appropriate. A three-year old can put paper in the recycling bin. A five year old is able to stamp envelopes. A ten year old can do some filing. You may get more work done this way, or less, but involving your child will be priceless.

5. LAUGH! Take a moment to tell your daughter a silly joke. Relive a funny moment from the past. Have a five minute "tickling spree." If hearing your child's laughter doesn't get you started, nothing will. Besides the "fun" factor, laughing reduces stress and ups the immune system =96 an added benefit for you both!

Working at home and being a fun mom can go hand-in-hand. It's all about balance. But when you find the scale tipping a little too far on the work side, your child may just remind you that it's time to step away for a moment or two. And don't forget to grab that FUN hat on your way out of the office door.

Whether you visit your local where the air comes alive with the hiss and heat of steam or you invest in an at-home automatic espresso machine where you're free to tinker with the perfect , the results are the same -- the perfect and a very, very happy coffee lover.

The automatic espresso machine comes in two varieties; and full automatic. Using a semi automatic espresso machine requires partial participation on the part of the user. Whoever is operating the machine must start it at which point the automatic espresso machine takes over. When the brewing process is complete, the user then shuts down the machine. The full automatic espresso machine does not require any operator participation. This is usually a larger and pricier automatic espresso machine due to its heightened complexity; but it brews completely on its own coordinating a system of water, grinders, and extractors.

Deciding which automatic espresso machine would best suit your needs depends on its intended use. For commercial use, a full automatic espresso machine makes more sense; there's more space for a larger machine and the demand for multiple cups of espresso would make the need for heavy operator participation inefficient.

For at home use, a semi automatic espresso machine would be sufficient for private brewing. Its smaller size takes space issues into consideration and it is normally less pricey than its larger counterpart.

To find the model that works best for you, start your research on the Internet. You will be able to access thousands of consumer report records that will tell you which of the machines you are interested are performing the best.

Whether it's in the local coffee shop -- or in your home - an automatic espresso machine can readily brew the highest quality cup of coffee available.

The earlier models required manual defrosting but the newer ones are frost free which has lessened the labor of maintaining the refrigerator.

The basically has three components, like the timer, and a temperature sensor. All three work in tandem for the smooth automatic defrosting of the refrigerator. The heating coil is turned on by the timer every few hours or so. These coils are entwined among the freezer coils. The heat melts the frost off the coils and when all of it is melted the sensor turns off the heat as soon as the temperature goes above 32 degree F. This is how the whole process of defrosting basically works.

In most of the frost the cooling coils are within the . The heater is either woven into or set on these coils. The timer normally is found at the back of the compressor in the but the newer ones may have them in front of the refrigerator or inside it.

Earlier, the timer would go off for defrosting whether it was required or not. But, heating the coils at every six hours or so would consume a lot of energy. But, now, with depleting at an alarming rate and energy-efficiency being the norm, the latest frost free refrigerators have timers which are controlled electronically and are called adaptive defrost control.

The period of defrosting is not fixed. The component is programmed to take into account the usage of the refrigerator and the time it takes for the coils to be defrosted. The device then calculates the necessary time required and adapts itself accordingly.

Frost free refrigerators have certainly made life simpler. With manual refrigerators, one had to be constantly on the vigil to prevent the refrigerator from frosting all over. It needed the emptying out of the entire contents of the refrigerator and then letting the frost melt over a couple of hours or so. Then the messy draining and dripping of water had to be taken care of. The full refrigerator had to be wiped dry, the contents put back again and only then could the refrigerator be re-started.

Some really older models required overnight manual defrosting for the entire frost to melt away. This was especially tedious as the food had to be either consumed totally or some way had to be found to keep it fresh under the circumstances. The whole process was labor-intensive and time-consuming. One had to be physically present to do all this work. Now, no one has the time to do so much actual physical labor and thanks to advanced technology, we are rid of the tedium of manual defrosting.

Frost free refrigerators are easier to clean and maintain and they also have the upper hand as far as energy saving is concerned. A properly designed frost free refrigerator uses less energy than the cyclic defrost ones which have to be manually defrosted. Also, the price of these frost free models is not very much more than the direct cool ones. Frost free refrigerators are an integral part of the modern, busy lifestyle now and there scarcely will be a household which does not possess one.Roberto Sedycias works as IT consultant for Polomercantil]]> A Guide To Choosing Expresso Machines http://www.artwoo.com/article/a-guide-to-choosing-expresso-machines http://www.artwoo.com/article/a-guide-to-choosing-expresso-machines#comments Sat, 15 Apr 2006 22:50:03 +0000 expresso machinescoffee shopsemi automatic machinescappuccino makerskitchen appliancestampgrind http://www.artwoo.com/article/a-guide-to-choosing-expresso-machines Expresso machines are one of the most popular .

Semi automatics come with either a pressurized or a commercial portafilter. A commercial portafilter has a metal holder with a plastic handle. These are found on coffee shop . You need to get the setting, pressure and timing right to get the best cup possible. It takes a few tries to perfect this process.

A pressurized portafilter has a ring inside that adjusts the flow of the water. the water will flow slower for coarse grounds and faster for finer grounds.

For , generally, all you have to do is put the transmission on drive and then you simple press the accelerator to move and the brakes to stop. In manual transmission, things are a bit more complicated. You'll have to press the clutch and position the gear yourself. Do you want to put it on first gear, second gear, third gear, and so on and so forth. Learning is much more complicated. You have to memorize the position of the gears. Should you position the stick to the upper left or the upper right? Should it be in the middle or should it be down below. The timing of the clutch is also a complicated matter. You have to make sure that your car will not stall when you change from one gear to another. If you are planning to purchase a vehicle that has manual transmission then you have to make sure that you know how to operate it. If you do not know how to operate a manual transmission vehicle then you will end up burning the clutch and maybe even breaking your entire gearbox. Transmission is a very expensive component of the vehicle and this is one of the last things that you would want to break down, aside from the engine.

In general, manual transmission is cheaper and more efficient than automatic transmission vehicles. If you would like to save on gas then manual transmission would be a better choice in most cases. On the other hand, if you do not like the responsibility of constantly shifting from one gear to another then automatic transmission would be a great option for you. In times of , shifting from neutral to first gear can be very tiring for manual transmission vehicles. If you do not want to go through all this hassle then you should simply get a vehicle with automatic transmission.

There are also some other transmission systems out there aside from the automatic and manual transmission. These hybrid transmission systems are in between automatic and manual transmission. Some transmission systems out there allow you to shift gears as you please without the clutch. There are also some transmission systems out there that are attached to the steering wheel already. These high tech transmission systems allow you to shift gears as if you were playing a computer game.

Should you purchase a vehicle that has automatic, manual, or hybrid transmission? This is a question that you will answer upon purchasing your vehicle. If you think that you want better gas consumption efficiency then a manual transmission would suit you whilst if you want easier driving then automatic transmission will suit you. Should you go for a hybrid transmission? Ask your dealer and find out how it fits in with your needs. There are so many types of hybrid transmissions out there and you may need a more detailed description of them to make a good decision on your purchase.

It's not uncommon for people with ADD to have clutter in their lives. Though we really prefer things to be nice and neat, we don't have the wherewithal to keep things that way. We hate to be bored, and so we procrastinate, sometimes for years. And we may be comfortable with our , but the people who have to live with us may not be so easy going. They let us know when it's time to fix the mess. So, how does a person with ADD get started?

Here's an idea for you that is totally ADD-friendly:

Get a big box and dump everything into it. Just gather it up and toss it into the box. Not too boring or time consuming, right? Just be sure to keep bills aside or anything that needs attention. You may want to get a basket and keep it somewhere that's easy to get to when the comes. You can just toss bills in there as they come in, and then, pick a day each month when you'll pay them.

Pick a day to go through the box you've just filled with mess, too, and be sure it's a day when you won't be distracted and need to leave the house. This will be an all-day, job, but a . So, get a timer and two banker'es with from the , and a trash can. Then, set the timer for five minutes and start going through the stuff in the big box. Put trash in the trash, important papers into one banker's box, and not-so-important-but-I-don't-want-to-throw-away papers into another one.

At the end of the five minutes, stop. Reset the timer for 55 minutes, and go and do whatever you want to do for that time. When the timer buzzes, then set it for 5 minutes again, and go back to the big box and start sorting. Unless the big box is the size of a small elephant, you should be done by the end of that day.

After finishing, write a date on the not-so-important banker's box and store it. If you don't look inside after six months, then, throw it away. Keep the other banker's box with important papers, like insurance policies or product warranties, in a cool, dry place where you can reach it easily. It's not important that the papers inside are organized. They just have to be available for you to find them, if needed.

Nothing in the world will stop your ADD from making clutter again. So, make this a monthly ritual. Pick up everything, and take a day to sort it. If you can do this, you'll be happier, but imagine how happy your non-ADD family will be. You can do anything for 5 minutes at a time. Try it and see if this clutter-slaying process isn't right for you.
